Lamentations 5:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵With a yoke^[a] on our necks we are hard driven;
    we are weary, we are given no rest.
⁶We have given the hand to Egypt,
    and to Assyria, to get bread enough.
⁷Our fathers sinned, and are no more;
    and we bear their iniquities.
